Villager of Daming

Chapter 630: People’s livelihood will improve for a long time

The meat skewers were served quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang drank beer. He is not easy to get drunk. He has a good drinking capacity!
"Back then, Shijiu Lake! It was because of natural disasters that no one was willing to grow food around it. Now that the water can be connected to the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River through the Rouge River, it is stable."

Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously not an emperor who listens to others on everything, he can think.

During the war, he came up with many strategies and tactics. The founding emperors all had this characteristic.

Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest failure in history was the attack on Helin because he had never been to that place in person.

He is familiar with the geography and climate of the places where he has fought before, so he can give good strategic and tactical arrangements.

He Lin was too far away from Zhu Yuanzhang, and they were not in Peiping, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

After passing Shanxi, there are grasslands, Gobi, saline-alkali land, and oases.

Now it belongs to Zhu Wentian to help Zhu Yuanzhang win a strategic victory, and then the support will follow.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew, so when he couldn't see the master, he had to endure it no matter how uncomfortable it was.

The head of the village had been accepting Hanhan's teachings, and now he echoed: "That's right! If we didn't use so many troops at that time, who would have dared to think that a long artificial canal would be built quickly?
Many times!It’s not about what the people below think, but whether the people above love the people.

This canal will be established if it is hesitant and will be destroyed if it is not hesitant.This is even worse than when Yang Guang built the canal, because all the ministers expected it. "

"No, you're praising us again. No matter how much you praise us, I can't give you a promotion or a title. You're just a local leader. Oops! Let's sing and dance."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to be praised, but don't take it too seriously. He understood. He found that everyone was less singing and dancing when talking.

In the sound of music, the fleet entered Shijiu Lake. The people did not know the news yet, and no one came to tell them in advance.

After seeing such a big ship and the flag on it, the people panicked. What should they do?Your Majesty is here.

The guards first arranged their positions, and when everything was straightened out, Zhu Yuanzhang disembarked to the sound of "Long Live Long Live", and the people would not shout anything else.

"Reward!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't come in vain, and everyone knelt down to greet him.

As for the reward, he didn't say. Xiaqiu Village is responsible for it. If you can't reward money, if you are short of money, you can reward something.

The people here were busy cooking. Seeing a large group of people arriving, it was obvious that they could not provide enough food. They were once again at a loss.

Fortunately, there are people in the team who are responsible for cooking. They take some of the ingredients from the people and mix them together.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, accompanied by Hanhan and others, were talking to the local people. They were the first ones. Those who came later were not allowed to get close and they were worried about them.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally held a baby in his arms, appeared to be close to the people, and talked to the local chief.

"Huang Lichang, is the harvest in the fields okay this year? Are there any difficulties? Let's not talk about it here, but we can still solve some things."

"Your Majesty, it's not difficult. We harvested a lot of wheat in the summer, and now we have to harvest soybeans. We bought a lot of farm tools and sharpened the sickles. We can finish the harvest in a few days. We won't be tired."

Huang Lichang shook his head. How dare he trouble His Majesty? He couldn't let His Majesty's team help collect the beans, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "It's good to harvest soybeans. I'll harvest them for you. Can you usually eat meat?"

He saw that the clothes worn by ordinary people had patches, but they all seemed to fit. The key was the complexion, the flesh on the face and the sparkle in the eyes.

Especially for children, the little face they hold is clean, the collar of the clothes is not dirty, and there are no patches visible on the clothes.

It proves that the child has a lot of clothes, can change back and forth, and is not ruined by big clothes.

“We raise ducks and pigs here, and we can fish. The most important thing is meat, which we eat every day.

We were short of oil before. After harvesting the soybeans at this time last year, we did not sell them, but used them to press oil and planted rapeseed oil.Fish needs to be fried when eating, as it only consumes oil. Add a little oil to other vegetables, and just toss in the meat and stir-fry. "

Huang Lichang smiled and replied that the local food was indeed good and it was a transit economic area.

Boats would come over and sell salted duck eggs and salted goose eggs to passers-by, or sell some steamed buns, steamed buns, and other items to department stores.

After getting the money, I went to the department store to buy something. If there was something not available in the store, I told Master Ma and Master Qian to write to Yingtian Mansion to arrange it.

"Is the supply in department stores still sufficient?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked about department stores again.

"It's full! It's full! Mr. Ma... Shopkeeper Ma and Shopkeeper Qian do a good job. They will help us deliver whatever we want."

While Huang Lichang was talking, he looked around, looking for someone, two students.

To others, the two students were dismissed candidates. In their own eyes, they were literate teachers at that time.

Moreover, he only wanted to have a meal, and he didn’t need anything else, and he even helped everyone settle accounts.

Zhu Xi wanted to speak behind Zhu Yuanzhang, but could not hold back. He was familiar with department stores.

I went to the Northland for a year. After I came back, I immediately looked at the situation and made some adjustments.

"Ma Hui, Qian Dushi? Are you two here?" Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the two people.

"Here, go to the front. Father, I have something to ask you." Zhu Xi finally caught the opportunity.

When he got off the boat just now, he first found two people to ask about local stores, including the area diagonally opposite.

There is also a shop there, and you usually need to take a boat to get there. You have to walk half a circle, and then you have to take a boat.

"Your Majesty!" The two said from behind to the front.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them and nodded: "Yes, you will know how to work just by looking at it. Have you read the books on officialdom and economic modularity that I gave you?"

"Your Majesty, I have memorized it all." Qian Dushi replied excitedly.

Ma Hui nodded fiercely beside him. He heard the meaning behind His Majesty's words. He was going to become an official?

"Don't worry, the department store needs to be replaced by someone. We can wait until the people from the official school pass the exam next year before making plans."

Zhu Yuanzhang reassured the two that he really needed officials. Before, there were four in 420. Later, he opened department stores in other places, and the first batch of people all came out to be shopkeepers.

So far, no one has made any mistakes, and they are all teaching local people how to read while managing the store.

People would go to the store to ask them if they had anything to do, including planting, breeding, and if someone was sick.

They simply observed the sick people and arranged for them to be sent to the nearest Huimin Pharmacy.

They can detect some minor illnesses. There are medicinal materials in the store, which are directly used by people. They are free and need to be recorded to avoid being greedy.

By next year, people from the official school will replace them, and Ming Dynasty will have 520 and five more local officials.

When the second batch of department store shopkeepers are also available, hold an imperial examination and give them a status, ensuring that they will be Jinshi, even if they leave the questionnaire of the Four Books blank.

They know all the Four Books and Five Classics. If they forget it, it proves that they cannot use it in daily life. Why should they learn those books?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two thanked them happily.
